Mastering Scales and Arpeggios series
Fingering Method (Grades 1 to 5)
Fingering and Tonality Method (Grades 6 to 8)

Picture
Students can now learn scales and arpeggios in the most effective way.  This edition of Mastering Scales and Arpeggios for Piano is based on the latest 2021 ABRSM examination syllabus.  The J Koh’s Fingering Method has proven specifically to assist students to develop cognitive skills and technical fluency - a methodology most essential for training young children and pianists of all ages. 
No more issues with remembering fingering, dealing with awkward turns or juggling poor co-ordination between both hands! With each numbered fingering which identifies with each key, this unique method combines visual recognition, aural perception of pitch patterns and independent finger action to ensure scales and arpeggios are learnt, perceived and memorized in the most systematic way. Metronome speeds are recommended for students to attain absolute accuracy and fluency. Success assured!  A poised hand position, with firmly and beautifully curved fingers will produce the most musical sounds and tone qualities.
